Step 1
The five-number summary is a descriptive statistic that provides information about a set of observations. It consists of the following statistics:
1. Minimum (Min) - the smallest observation
2. Maximum (Max) - the largest observation
3. Median MM - the middle term
4. First Quartile Q1Q1 - the middle term of values below the median
5. Third Quartile Q3Q3 - the middle term of values above the median
Step 2
Arrange the terms in ascending order.
